Editorial Reviews

It was 1969 -- the Summer of Love -- and some 400,000 people gathered on a farm in upstate New York to get down and naked to the music of Jimi Hendrix, Sly and the Family Stone, Jefferson Airplane, Arlo Guthrie, David Crosby, and many, many others. This was more than just a music festival featuring some of the most important rock and folk artists of the era. It was a three-day celebration of the counterculture and everything for which it stood. A youthful Martin Scorsese cut his teeth as an editor on Mike Wadleigh's Academy Award-winning film that documents the most famous rock concert of all time -- and one of the defining events of the 1960s. Monumental in its scope, this legendary documentary uses wide screen and split screen techniques and stereo sound to recreate the experience of the festival in all its peace-loving, mud-splattered glory. While some have criticized the length of the film, the performances -- particularly Hendrix's monumental rendition of the "Star-Spangled Banner" -- make it all worthwhile.

October 26, 2009: My dad really enjoyed receiving this for his 57th birthday. He was a little disappointed that there wasn't a CD that he could take to work with him or play in his car. Otherwise, he enjoyed the trip down memory lane and my folks regularly use this as background noise while they eat dinner.

Yasgur's Farm, 1969!!!by DR-DAN

October 10, 2009: I turned 18 a week before attending the Woodstock Festival. It remains to this day one of the most incredible experiences of my life, both in terms of music and of what human beings are truly capable. I've watched earlier versions of Woodstock that reminded me of those experiences but never really brought them to life again. All that has changed with this version! Due to the re-mastering of the soundtrack and perhaps because of the addition of extra cuts featuring interviews with people that were then kids like me, I was once again returned to Max Yasgur's farm and a life altering weekend of Woodstock!!! If you were there, this version of the DVD will take you back; if you never had the chance but want the experience, this DVD is a guaranteed return to that magnificent three days when every dream of the '60s came true in one long spectacular adventure!!! If it were possible, I would give this DVD 6, 7, or 8 stars!!!!
